Am real curious about some of your in studio “family.” I see one for sure celebrity, a comedian. Sorry I can’t remember his name. Also I think the tall young adult at the back may be a son of either Magic or Air. Do I see Shanna Moakler? And did Vanessa star in some stuff on TV? Where and how can I find out who these people are? Thanks. Love the Cardioke wuokort. Am real curious about some of your in studio “family.” I see one for sure celebrity, a comedian.

Granted it has lost a few of the more casual viewers, but it's still one of the most watched shows on TV. "Heroes" would also have incredible viewing figures if it didn't have such a terrible second season. I think your suggestion is a good one - perhaps FOX can make the first half of the season more episodic, and if people bite the hook, they could perhaps allow for a more overarching theme to be incorportated? Although because they wont have viewer feedback whilst filming, this might not be viable for them. @Page 48 - I with you on the seamless season long storyline, it works for me too. I guess the network just doesn't think that enough people are willing to commit to story-lines that actually pay-off over time. Which is a shame because I think they underestimate the fan base. I'm really curious as to how Dollhouse will work as a stand-alone (sorry, that dreaded word again ;)) because at the moment, I just can't see it being as captivating with such a model. @Nevermore – I agree, "LOST" is proof that serialized shows can be successful.

Make it more stand-alone? Gimme a break! Even though "Fringe" is attempting to succeed using the 'hybrid' model, it's nowhere near as effective as "Alias" or "Lost" or even the short-lived "Jericho". If the network really wants a hook, how about the weekly cliffhanger they're so dead set against? How about the seamless storyline that takes all season to unfold? Works for me.

I can understand FOX wanting a hook. They're dead last in the network rankings, so they need people to start watching their shows. So here's a proposal for the network: you can have the first six to eight episodes to get the people interested as you see fit, and then leave the rest for Joss Whedon to work his magic. Once people have made up their minds on watching the show or not, it won't hurt it to become serialized. The audience isn't suddenly going to stop watching because they have to remember something that happened two weeks ago. I think this is a fair compromise. The network gets their larger audience, and we get the show that we were meant to get, eventually. It's win win. Ok, new thought. I can understand FOX wanting a hook.

First Terminator became more stand-alone, and now this. They've basically got zero serialized shows in their entire lineup. I know, I know, Lost sure proved that serialized shows can't be successful... oh, wait... Plus there's the whole changing tone aspect. I was really looking forward to a dark, edgy show, but it seems like FOX wants the same old formulaic crap. More than any other network, FOX really considers its viewers completely brainless. That's the problem here. They don't take any chances. The man Joss Whedon comes to you with this great idea for a new, unique show and you say great, let's do it, but not until we screw with it so that it's just like all our other shows. How bout some artistic freedom? You think you can really make a better show than Joss Whedon? Give me a break. I was really looking forward to a serialized show. It would have been only the second one on TV. Guess that dream has gone out the window. Fucking network. First Terminator became more stand-alone, and now this.
